2.

Merge the cells.

Set the area off with some border or color.

Table 13

Shows Table 12 above with row made into a “header” (in this case the title)

Create a row header

the header to appear).

illustrated in Table 8 on page 147), or choose Column to the Right or Column to the Left from
the Insert submenu of the Table menu.

3.

Select the cells in the row that you want to make into the header and click the Merge Cells
button on the Table Cells palette (as illustrated in Figure 133 on page 148), or choose Merge
Cells
from the Table menu.

Table 14
